The Unforgettable Experience Of Online Bingo

By Gregory Brooks


We can trace the history back to the year 1530, when bingo was played with great enthusiasm at a local raffle known as "Lo Giuoco Del Lotto D'Italia," in Italy. An interesting fact is that it is still played there even today. The 1700s saw the game being played by the French nobility who called it "Le Lotto," and by the 1800s, the Germans also took to enjoy a variant of the game. However, it was only in 1999 that the game was introduced in the US and presented in a carnival close to Atlanta. It was called 'beano' then. A New York toy salesman called Edwin S. Lowe was the one to name it 'Bingo'. He took the help of a mathematician, Carl Leffer, to create over 6000 combinations, to enhance the possibilities of bingo, Lowe was approached by a Pennsylvanian priest to play the game to raise funds for the church. This made the game renown. An estimate demonstrates that $100 million is used in playing the game in North America alone.

Bingo became synonymous with fund-raising and became the favorite entertainment of charity shows and giveaways, so much so, that it has now become an integral part of dozens of fans of the game. Bingo was also enjoyed in almost every major brick and mortar casino worth its name. The development of the Internet brought with it various opportunities, and online bingo was soon introduced. With this, the game escalated even more vigorously and started to tempt women of all ages to play the game on the Internet. The added advantages of online bingo were that you could play in your own time, without taking the trouble of rushing to a regular casino after a hard day's work. You could now enjoy your game of bingo from the comforts of your own home on your computer.

The software that is developed for bingo is so amazing, that generally, you will feel like you were sitting and playing in a genuine casino, because of the high definition of the graphics and effects. It is a well-known fact, that bingo is very time-consuming and will entail waiting. What better way to use this spare time, than to make friends with other online gamers. This will afford you a great experience.

There are several variations of online bingo games but the most common are the Canadian and American 75-ball variations. This is mainly a waiting game as the program automatically does everything for you, including striking the numbers on your card. By no means is this game difficult, and if you do not understand something, there are many of strategy guides detailing how to go about it.

To bring new gamers and to retain old ones, online casinos are giving bonuses such as free bingo no deposit bonuses and starting bonuses. Deposit bonuses are offered to old customers, and they fall in the range of 100 to 400 %.

Another important factor is that you should select your online bingo site with great care, as there are many fraudulent websites online, whose only aim is to relieve you of your money and varnish into thin air. You should take care to ask around, browse reviews, etc., and finally select a site that will suit your expectations. Remember, if you fall into wrong hands, you stand the bigger threat of identity theft, which is much more dangerous than losing money.
